Programs for Study Abroad
The Office of Programs for Study Abroad is
dedicated to internationalizing Purdue by helping as
many Purdue students as possible to have overseas experiences
that enrich lives, enhance academic experiences, and
increase career potential. The Office helps students
to overcome academic, financial, or personal concerns
that might prevent them from going abroad and is especially
devoted to removing obstacles for first-time travelers.
Programs for Study Abroad also works to ensure that
all Purdue-affiliated international endeavors meet
institutional standards, and it facilitates the required
approval of the Dean of International Programs in such
matters.
The Office supplies required training and information
to faculty members who are establishing student exchanges
or who are creating or leading any kind of study abroad
program. It also serves as the central source of information
about students on Purdue activities abroad.
In addition, the Office helps faculty and staff to
be advocates for study abroad and provides resources
to facilitate their advocacy. It assists the leadership
of individual Purdue colleges with strategic plans
for internationalizing their curricula.
